How to keep rent under control
- Pick a location by delivery demand, not footfall — upper floors and back lanes are cheaper and work fine for delivery.
- Consider a shared kitchen or second-shift rental to start (see hourly kitchen rental).
- Negotiate a rent-free fit-out period of 1–2 months.
- Keep rent under roughly 10–15% of expected monthly sales.
